If there’s one thing I will never understand, it’s the fact that my parents use scent-less laundry detergent. Growing up, it felt like a treat to do laundry at my grandma’s house, where she used products that smelled amazing—making me excited to wear my clean clothes. So, as an adult, it only makes sense that I’m constantly on the hunt for the best smelling laundry detergent. Maybe it’s the fact that I grew up with clothes that smelled like the dryer itself, or perhaps I’m just a sucker for smelling amazing. Either way, I’ve decided to dub laundry detergents the new perfume—So let’s go find your new ~signature scent.~
Doing laundry—especially if you have to pay for it and don’t have machines in your actual home—isn’t my favorite activity. Sure, I love to be cuddled up in clean sheets or slip on a t-shirt that’s fresh out of the dryer, but the actually act of doing laundry always feels tedious. When your laundry detergent smells like your favorite candle or brings back memories of your childhood summers, though, it’s hard to resist slipping into the laundry room for a quick hit. You might even find yourself doing your roommate’s or family’s laundry with these five best smelling laundry detergents below. Laugh now, but once you get a whiff of these scents, you’ll probably be forever changed.
From the signature scent that makes Anthropologie smell like, well, Anthropologie to the forever-popular Le Sabo Santal 33 scent, the laundry detergents below might just change your mind about laundry forever. Imagine a world where we all smell amazing all the time and enjoy washing our clothes. It’s all possible with these laundry detergents. Don’t @ me until you sniff them.
